The programme will provide you with an advanced understanding of international affairs. It examines the key theories and debates on foreign policy making, setting them in the context of a wider discussion of the principal approaches to international relations theory and places foreign policy issues in the context of wider regional and systemic dynamics.
The core curriculum explores key concepts and principal mainstream approaches to international relations, including the realist, English School and neoliberalist accounts. It goes on to examine the theory and practice of foreign policy, using a variety of case studies to provide students with detailed empirical knowledge.
Graduates have an excellent record of employability in the public and private sectors in Europe and elsewhere. Many graduates have gone on to PhD programmes, notably at the European University Institute. Others have gone on to public sector and private sector employment dealing with the EU institutions or to work for the EU institutions.
